"Where is she? She was supposed to be here ten minutes ago!" whined a young boy by the name of Naruto. "Just be quiet, Naruto. She'll be here." commented Sasuke. Naruto growled and gave an angry look at him. "I'M TIRED OF YOU TELLING ME WHAT TO DO!" yelled Naruto as he lunged for Sasuke. Sasuke didn't even move. Kakashi grabbed him by his collar as Naruto's stomach growled. He sighed. "Hungry?" asked Kakashi. "Yeah..." replied Naruto with a sad face. Sakura walked over to him and handed him a boxed luch that was half eaten. "Here, you can have it." she said with a tone that said she didn't really approve of this, but she was doing it anyway to get him to shut up. "THANKS SAKURA!" squeeled Naruto as he ate the food viciuosly. Kakashi laughed, while Sasuke and Sakura watched in disbelief. Just as Naruto was finishing up his food, they heard foot steps. They all looked to where they heard it coming from, and, sure enough, Koko just rouned a corner.
"Park with a swing...park with a swing..." she mumbled to herself as she looked around. She looked at the group of three sitting in the grass of a park with a swing. She gave them a look that said "Are you my teammates and instructor?". They all got the message and waved to her. She saw how the boy with the blonde hair was waving, and immediatly knew she didn't like him. She looked at her instructor, and thought, He looks cool! I know he'll be fun! Then she looked at the girl with pink hair. Oh, my god...I HATE pink...oh, well. She looks nice. Koko smiled at her pleasantly to show she approved of her. Then she looked at the boy with black hair. HE'S FEAKIN' HO-- she shoved the thought away as she remembered her promise to not let anything get in the way. Even though she had the headband, she needed to earn the right to keep it. She blushed with a surprised look on her face, and Sasuke saw she was blushing at HIM when he finally felt like looking to see who his new partner was. Wow...she's kinda cute.. he thought while blushing back with the same look. He instantly shook heis head and looked away with and expressionless look.
Koko smiled and ran over to them. "Are you guys my team?" asked Koko. with a questioning look. "If you are Kokoro Aiyazaki, then yes, we are." Kakashi said with a cold stare at her, but with a pleasant tone. "That's me!" Koko said smiling. "But please don't call me Kokoro. Just call me Koko." Naruto stood up and slapped her on her back. "Well, welcome to the team, Koko!" he laughed. "My name is Naruto Uzumaki!" Koko made a disgusted look at him, but he didn't see it because he had is eyes closed. Sakura stood up next and intoduced herself. "My name's is Sakura Haruno. You can call me Sakura. It's nice to have you here!" she said with a warm smile. Wow, she's nice! Koko thought. She smiled back. "And I am your sensei, Kakashi. I never go easy on my pupils, you can ask any one of your teammates. Oh, and elcome to the team." You couldn't see it, but you could tell he was smiling. "Thank you, Kakashi Sensei." Koko said politely and bowed. "I like her, already!" Kakashi said with a laugh.
Koko smiled heartily and looked at Sasuke, who was TRYING to not pay attention to them. "And who are you?" asked Koko as she bent down on her hands and knees beside Sasuke. He looked to his side to find her there. Startled, he stood up, but calmly as if nothing had motivated him to get up. "I am Sasuke Uchiha." he said, trying not to sound nervous. Which, by the way, he didn't. Koko realized she was acting childish and tried to get her smile to go away. "That's--uh, I mean, cool, no--" she covered her mouth. Damn! she thought. I can't believe I'm acting like this! Koko laughed. Everyone stared at her, even Kakashi. "Hokage told me that you were a hard worker and didn't like playing around..." he pulled out a clipboard with some information about Koko on it. "Ahhh...here it is. Illnesses..." He looked over it. "Wow. Impressive." he said in a way that you couldn't tell if he was being sarcastic or not. "What?" Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke asked at the same time. "Listen to this: Kokoro Aiyazaki. Aquired diseases: Bipolar, A.D.H.D., and special mental illness that causes uneccesary thinking." Koko looked away as everyone's gaze went on her. "What is that unecessasasary thingy that you said?" asked Naruto, clueless. Returning from a surprised stare, Sasuke filled him in. "It's where you do stuff like cut yourself and hurt other people for no reason." Naruto backed up. "WHAT!" Kakashi shook his head as Naruto started to freak out. "Don't worry, Naruto. Hokage told me that it is, besides training to graduate, to help out our teammates. And that's what we're gonna do about Koko."
Naruto gave a thumbs up. "Don't worry Koko! We'll help you!" Sakura and Koko sighed simultaneously. Kakashi interrupted them. "We need to get to our training today." He motioned torward Koko. "How fast are you?" he asked her. Koko shrugged. "Ummm...pretty fast, I guess." Kakashi smiled under his mask. "Good. Today, since no missions are up, we'll be playing base Hide-and-Seek." He pointed torward the swing. "That's base. If you get tagged, you're it. And guess who gets to be first?" Everyone looked around. Kakashi brought his finger over to...dun dun dun...Sasuke. "Congratulations, Sasuke! You get to be it! And count to fifty." Kakashi laughed. Sasuke looked surprised, but brought his emotionless expression back just as quick as it had been taken away. He closed his eyes. "1...2...3..."
